I just logged in to my Orange Savings Account and noticed that my 2009 tax forms are now available for download.

From the ING Direct website:

You’ll receive a 1099 if you are…

The primary account holder of one or more deposit account(s) that earned in total $10 or more in interest in 2008. A deposit account is an Orange Savings Account, Orange CD or Electric Orange Checking. If you took a distribution from an IRA Savings or IRA CD in 2008, you’ll get a 1099-R.

You’ll receive a 1098 if you are…

The primary account holder of an Orange Mortgage or Orange Home Equity on which you paid interest during 2008.

I printed a copy of my 1099-INT and saved a copy to my hard drive.  I love the convenience of digital forms.

You can view your tax forms by logging into your account and clicking TAX FORMS.

I’m a big fan of ING Direct’s Orange Savings and Electric Orange accounts.  While there are other banks that offer slightly higher rates, I haven’t found one that could beat ING Direct’s customer service.  When away from the computer, I can call them, and within just a minute or two, a real-live-human will pick up the phone!  In this day and age, that attention to detail means a lot.
